So you see on T.V. or hear in the news all the time about some high-tech robbers in full body suits with equiptment for breaking into safes and scrambling cameras or whatever failing at bank robberies.
Yet some enviably clever redneck with a hedge trimmer and a roll of duct-tape pulls off a bank heist, disgused as a fucking TREE???

Although there wasn't much substance to this post, and I would have usually gone with a ZERO, you inspired so many bad tree puns that it's automatically been bumped to a +1...

So...
Is the irony in the fact that he dressed like a tree and stole money made of paper?

The dude's already been caught. He shoulda used some fancier equipment.

You are correct about that, however its not every day some tool robs a bank disgused as a tree... the people had to know that in our modern day technologically driven world. Someone got away with this.

I am aware of the one per day unwritten rule. However when I read this story I couldn't resist... I mean honestly the dude got away with it, and its the most asinine plan you could think of.
"Its so idiotic it HAS to work!" probably ran through his mind. I mean honestly guys... take some tree branches from a park, duct tape them to yourself and go rob a bank? How does one even begin to come up with a plan like that? Let alone get away with it lmao...

Fair enough, I suppose. It's not like you bumped a really good post off the front page for this. Still, a link and a few lines do not make a post.

As for the irony part. If you were going for the double meaning of movie trivia + asking me the question of whats ironic about this.
The word irony literally means: contrast or an incongruity between what is stated and what is really meant, or between what is expected to happen and what actually does happen. Two kinds of irony are: 1) verbal irony, in which a writer or speaker says one thing and means something entirely different; and 2) dramatic irony in which a reader or audience member perceives something that a character in the story does not
library.thinkquest.org/23846/library/terms/
I guess considering how many diffrent meanings it really has I understand your confusion, I was going for the "between what is expected to happen and what actually does happen."
